Re: [rules-users] Running rules from the past

@Ansgar, it looks like you are doing in a database the work that it's being done by Guvnor, that keeps a lot of meta data for all the snapshots and it's ready to keep the snapshots forever, exposing them via a service, so you applications can get the right version. In the same way that you mention just knowing the ID of the snapshot that it's required. Using Guvnor, there is no need to remove snapshots, each snapshot will only contain the rules associated with it and not a complete application.
